课程简介:

 

强人工智能是人们长久以来孜孜以求的一个理想,智能机器人是这个理想的实物寄托,以各种形态出现在众多科幻文学、影视作品当中。智能机器人能够理解人类语言,听懂人的心声;能够看着人的眼睛,认知周围的环境;有感觉,更有反应和思考,还能够通过学习获得经验和成长。而情感能力对于智能机器人至关重要。如果缺乏情感理解和表达的能力,将很难使智能机器人与人自然交互,更不能主动识别人的负面情感并做出积极反应。
本门课程对情感智能机器人加以介绍,展示机器人的运动、感知、控制、智能以及体系结构,讲解情感的作用、表达、识别、调节与心理学基础,讨论机器人通过各种感知方式对人类的情感识别模型,最后探索机器人的情感调节方法。本门课程还包含使用乐高EV3搭建机器人的实践环节。
本门课程是面向全校本科生开设的一门引论课程,并不涉及复杂的数学、物理推理与运算,也不要求过高的计算机程序设计技能。主要探讨情感智能机器人的概念、原理、模型、实现,希望选课同学能够对情感智能机器人有全面及较深入的了解,为进一步学习或进行相关应用打下坚实的基础。
本门课程采用平时课堂成绩与期末论文相结合的方式进行考核。
 

Strong artificial intelligence is one of the long-cherished dream of human being, while intelligent robots are its ideal physical sustenance, which have been presented in various forms in a number of science fiction literatures and films. Intelligent robots can understand the human language, understand the human voice; can look at people's eyes, cognize around the environment; can feel, react and think; and can also gain experience and grow through learning. The ability of handling affect is critical to intelligent robots. When lack of understanding and express affect, it will be difficult for intelligent robots to do natural interaction with human beings, difficult to take the initiative to identify people's negative emotions and make a positive response.

This course conducts an introduction to affective intelligent robotics, introduces the movement, perception, control, intelligence and architecture of the robot, explains the role, expression, identification, adjustment of the affect, and the corresponding psychology foundation. This course also discusses the recognition models of human affect through various sensing methods, and finally explores the ways of doing affect adjustment. This course also includes the practice of using Lego EV3 to build robots.

This course is an introductory course for undergraduate students. It does not involve complex mathematics, physical reasoning and computing, and does not require too much computer programming skills. This course mainly discusses the concept, principle, model and realization of affective intelligent robotics. Hope that the involved students can have a comprehensive and deep understanding of affective intelligent robotics, lay a solid foundation for further study or related applications.

The course employs a combination of the usual classroom performance and the grade of the essay to evaluate the final score of a student.
